No, it would be 3 yards. You need about 1 yard for each sidewall, a little less than 2 feet for your top string and more if its a triangle top, chenango, or iriqoui, and a little less than a foot for the bottom string.

two questions
this or crosslace because i only want to buy one spool of string to string most of the stick.(sidewall,topstring,bottom lace, and maybe nylon shooter if possible)
next which do you buy and why?

cross lace is for shooting nylons and top strings. sidewall lace is for sidewall. i hate cross lace though because cross lace is really fat string and gets hard to put it through any of the stringing holes. but sidewall lace works perfectly fine when used as top string

really 25 bucks for sidewall spool.... where has lacrosse equipment gone its so high in prices! when my dad played at cuse he could get 3 heads for the price of one head we have today... one head cost 20 bucks and a whole stick cost 50.. now a whole stick 250-300 bucks, ridicoulous! anyone who is with me please reply to this message!!

Hello I am currently a student at Lehigh University and former lacrosse player. As part of my honors program we had to create a invention which we would engineer and market over the course of our semester. My groups idea was simple, an engineered tube to reconnect sidewall strings, it would come in a kit with pieces of sidewall string as well so that if a sidewall breaks a quick fix can be done in game so that a player can keep using his main stick.
We are looking for feedback from lacrosse players and fans on this topic and I would greatly appreciate any criticism or thoughts about the invention.
Two questions I would like to ask:
a) How often does your sidewall string break?
b) If this product were available would you use it in a game over switching sticks
Thank you in advance for any responses

I'm a high school student in New Jersey. My only concern is that the, "Tube," will not be flexible. If the string breaks in or near a hole, the tube will not be as flexible. So the tube will break. To answer your question, I would prefer to use brand new string, but say in a game like you say, I would use it. You would need to sell the tube for a reasonable amount of money. Good luck on your invention.

If I buy this, and cut the string, how will i string more sticks if the string doesnt have the plastic on the end to go thru the holes in the head? the string would just fray and wont go thru the holes.

A custom pocket is kind of like an unusual pocket that u have either had done or made urself. An example of a custom pocket would be if u cut off part of the mesh and made a strip down the middle with a bunnch of stuff that you've come up with urself

crosslace is the THINNEST type of string availble because its used to string anything other than mesh AKA traditional and the endless varities
sidewall is the thicker than crosslace but thinner than topstring,which is the thickest availble, but anyways sidewall string is used to string pockets with mesh

you can string A LOT more than two heads. it takes me about 100" to 120" to string one head completely. This is 3600" of string. you should be able to string 30 heads. F.Y.I, i'm talking about mesh heads. for traditional its more like 13 to 18 feet needed per head; depending on the number of diamonds or if you're stringing a custom pocket.

If i wanted more than one color, buying 4 or 5 spools would be rediculous. I could technically just buy white and then dye the string differnt colors as i needed them right? Does anyone know if the string will hold the dye and not bleedout everywhere?
